Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates in seconds or milliseconds.

What does it do?

Convert between Unix timestamps and human-readable dates in seconds or milliseconds.

How does it work?

Choose seconds or milliseconds explicitly, then convert the numeric Unix value to an ISO UTC date or convert a date to Unix time in that unit. Use current time fills both fields from the device clock. The Advanced panel converts a list of numeric values in the selected unit or ISO dates.

When to use it
  • Convert a single Unix timestamp from an API response or log.
  • Get the current Unix time for testing.
  • Convert a batch of timestamps from a log file in one pass.
Inputs and outputs
Input
Text, files, or values entered in the browser, depending on the tool.
Output
A result shown in the browser that can be reviewed or copied where supported.
Limitations
  • Date parsing follows the browser's JavaScript Date implementation. Use explicit ISO timestamps with Z or an offset; timezone-less strings can be interpreted locally.
  • Outputs are limited to the JavaScript Date range, and converting to seconds rounds down to the previous integer second.

How to use it

  1. Choose Seconds or Milliseconds to match the numeric source.
  2. Enter the number and select Convert to date, or enter an ISO timestamp and select Convert to Unix.
  3. Include Z or an explicit offset in a date for unambiguous timezone handling.
